Christmas should be the happiest time of the year, but for many families struggling with hardship, it can feel like the loneliest and most frightening. 

This time last Christmas, Carly* was forced to sleep in her car with her children, after fleeing her violent partner. Feeling isolated and afraid, she prayed they might one day know the true joy of Christmas in the safety of a loving home.

But thanks to the kindness of people like you, Carly received care and support from a Salvos Case Worker named Jenny, who immediately put them into emergency accommodation and helped to find them somewhere safe to call home. All in time for Christmas.

“This is the first Christmas I’ve had a home with my kids that’s going to be safe. Thanks to The Salvation Army, everything I dreamed of is coming together.” – Carly
